Convention: APC constitutes budget c’ttee, others

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced its resolve to set up budget and other committees ahead of its February national convention.  

Addressing newsmen at the end of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, held at the APC National Secretariat on Monday in Abuja, which lasted for over two hours, Secretary of the Committee, Sen Akpanudoedehe, said it also reviewed its activities in the last one year.

The top echelon of the APC recently met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja, where it was resolved that the party’s convention would be held in February. But no specific date was agreed upon.

The meeting of the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee also failed to announce a specific date for the February convention.

The secretary said, they “Deliberated on the planned national convention and resolved to set up sub-committees on budgeting and other relevant structures for the national convention.”

He however declined to answer questions put to him by newsmen and left the briefing scene.

Meanwhile, the Saliu Mustapha Campaign Organisation has welcomed the resolution by the caretaker committee to set up sub-committees and other relevant structures ahead of the convention.

In a statement signed by its head of Media and Strategic unit, Dapo Okubanjo, said that it shows that the Buni-led Committee was committed to the task handed them by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.

Mustapha is one of the chairmanship aspirants of the party.
